I'm very curious as to what people who do not know me in real life think my race/ethnicity/nationality is. My profile picture is a pretty good half body shot. What would you guess?

When I first meet people they always ask, "are you ___? are you half ___?"

    I would guess Indian (from India). I guess if I meant American Indian, I would have said Native American?

    Indian?

    yes, 100%

    first entirely correct answer.

    I adore my heritage but people hardly ever guess it correctly within a few guesses. Probably because of my eye color (so light brown that people usually describe it as being more of a "gold" color) and I'm extremely light skinned to begin with and even paler because I live in Seattle which gets very little sunshine.

    I would also go with attractive woman and leave it at that lol, why are people always trying to dissect your ethnicity? That's awesome as a side note though that you hit the genetic jackpot with light golden eyes, I have a friend with that combination and it's simply gorgeous

    Hindu is religion love :)

    I would've said Indian based on the dress alone, before I even saw the face :-P

    I wouldn't guess. I don't like to be wrong because sometimes ppl can be touchy about that kind of thing. well IRL at least.

    Yes, I am totally aware of that. If you had read my comment, I had said Indian from India. As opposed to American Indian.

    When the Op posted, she was wearing a different ethnically neutral dress. She changed her pic after we made our guesses.
